'The Simpsons' upcoming Canada-themed episode will focus on health-care, Manitoba-born producer says

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be portrayed in Sunday's Canadian-themed episode of "The Simpsons," which is titled "D'Oh Canada."

"I thought Bart was sort of like America: brash, unreflective, much more sure of himself. And Lisa was sort of the intellectual, quiet, thoughtful, rational one. And I've always felt like that was sort of the relationship between America and Canada, too." "The Simpsons, when they see her in the hospital, are fully prepared to go bankrupt, because that's what would happen to them in America. But they're stunned and amazed and delighted to find the health-care system takes care of them."Yes, much of the Simpsons clan also visits Canada in the episode, which Long said has"a shocking number of Canadian things" that"95 per cent of the American audience won't get.

While Meyer recorded his role in September, Long said they write episodes"until the very last second," leaving room for current references.

mrtimlong Can’t believe that Disney would like such degrading and inappropriate slurs be passed on . The whole stupid Newfie comment was totally uncalled for and Disney , fox and what ever other brain stormer in LA that has taken in too much Smog should be ashamed of them selfs

mrtimlong This episode was stupid and offensive

As a out of province (and out of country) resident, she would not be eligible for 'free' healthcare. Without insurance issued in her country, her family would be given a large bill for her treatments once complete. Exact same as US. Please do not lie to your readers.

It's pretty shocking that none of the media has been 'allowed'? to show Trudeau slithering out the window and down the wall of the building like the snake he is!

Wow, So far HuffPost is the only Canadian MSM that mentioned the SNCLavalinScandal while covering the Simpson's D'oh Canada episode.

Nothing Canadian about Trudeau !!!

People still watch the Simpsons? 😕😕😕

Ooohh, we GET it!!!

I am from Newfoundland and Labrador and I have to say that I am ashamed of all my fellow Newfie’s for being so thin skinned and crying over the word Newfie. Get over yourselves and suck it up buttercups. Call a Whaaaaaambulance.

Disney did this

What’s funny is the implication that Americans get free health care if they come to Canada.

Canadians don’t understand Bagel Boy either...

The elite have started the programming to make everyone laugh at Trudeau. Conservatives have been for 4 years 😂 Liberals need to be told what to think. Proof the election is ours when an elite programming program shows the sheep what to do now.

I didn’t like that they portrayed Newfoundlanders as stupid, called us Newfies, and showed NFLD Ralph bashing a baby seal with a club. Goes to show how outdated they are when it comes to what they think we’re about. Disgusting.

They forgot something..

I’m Canadian and the episode sucked

mrtimlong No one gets lame jokes.

AlJean The only show with the guts to make 95% of the jokes ungettable

If it's focus is on Health Care, I'm sure it will be full of inaccuracies, most Americans believe the lie that the healthcare system in Canada is marvelous...

American audiences got the previous four times the Simpsons went to Canada.

I can only assume one of those things that most Americans won't get are 'big' words.
